My daughter had an Easter wedding and it was such a special day to prepare for. Finding the perfect dress for each night was difficult because of my height. I found two dresses I loved but wasn't sure if they could be altered to look like a good fit for me. Between the beading, lace and sequins on one and defined pleats and flow of the other...I was referred to Sew Elegant to ensure the highest possible quality and enhancement. Needless to say they were perfect, she even upgraded the zipper and hooks! Thank you, Cuc "Daisy" Lee! You are an extraordinary woman that made our special day incredible! R Kahler read more

Daisy is always pleased to see you again. Service always the best. Have been customer for several decades.

Daisy hemmed and adjusted the straps on my wedding dress in record time, and with the utmost attention to detail! She was responsive, professional, friendly, and affordable! I enjoyed the experience of getting ready for my wedding, and she did an excellent job on my step-daughter's flower girl dress too! We both felt comfortable with her, and we ended up looking like royalty on the wedding day! We are so grateful!!! Sew Elegant in Batavia is the best!!!! Thanks Daisy!!!! read more

At the suggestion of my sister, I dropped off my brand new wedding dress to get altered before the big day. Daisy never upsells in fact she told me it would be cheaper to buy a bolero jacket than to have her make me one. Being a realist, I appreciate that because I'm already spending enough on the day. I seriously do not have a waist (44, 42, 44 are my measurements) and she worked her magic to give my dress some serious curves! Sweet lady and will definitely recommend her to those in need! read more

Daisy is such a delight. She is always so positive and honest, and truly wants you to look your absolute best. She does get quite busy during wedding and prom seasons, but she is the only person I would allow to touch my most important dresses! She altered my sister-in-laws and sisters wedding dress, and every bridesmaid dress I've worn. She is awesome, highly recommend! Thank you! read more

After another gal cancelled on me the day before my mother-of-the-groom alterations, I called Sew Elegant in a panic. She was able to fit me right in and take care of me before I had to leave in 2 weeks for my destination wedding. Great value, easy to work with, and called me right back. I will forever be grateful for her prompt and kind help! Over 30 years of owning her business, she's pretty darn good! Please give her your business. read more

Daisy did the alteration that I had asked the shop where I purchased my mother of the bride dress to do, but they said the dress fit good and it did not need that type of alteration. Well it did and Daisy knew what to do and she did it well! She is so sweet and a talented seamstress. Would highly recommend her. Cost was lower than I expected. read more

I took my wedding dress in for alterations in March 2021. I had recently moved to the area and wasn't sure where to go for alterations, so I turned to Yelp for suggestions. It was an easy process to get an appointment and the turn around time/quality of work was great. She made suggestions for the alterations that I wouldn't have thought to ask for that definitely improved the look of the dress. It's always scary trying a place for the first time (with a wedding dress no less!), but I would use her again in a heartbeat. read more

Great service. Dress adjusted very well. Brought my dress for my sisters wedding. Very accommodating, friendly, and I highly recommend. She adjusted the fit around the waist and cropped my loose sleeves to be more fitted. read more

So, she only alters/works on wedding dresses. Kind of important information. I was in need of a simple hem for slacks.

I took my bridesmaids dress in to be altered. I had put on some weight during the pandemic and had to get my dress bigger. The wedding I was in was cancelled, then rescheduled, and back on schedule again. Needless to say, I needed my dress fixed in a pinch and she was able to get it hemmed and altered in a week and a half. She was truly a lifesaver and did a fantastic job!!! read more

Amazing quality and speediness!!! I brought a bridesmaid dress in to have altered. She redid the neckline and hemmed the dress in the matter of days. It looked great! read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would! I had two items hemmed here, the first was a suit which turned out wonderful but the second, a pair of jeans was terrible! For my initial visit I brought both pairs of shoes, when I picked my items up I mistakenly forgot the taller pair. She told me if there was anything wrong to come back- the jeans are 2" too long and sweep across the floor which was not the case when they were pinned. She was busy with a wedding so I even gave her an extra week to get my items done. Upon calling her to have the alteration corrected she told me I was wrong and she would re-charge me! She is quick to tell you how experienced she is, however experience doesn't equal perfection. I will NEVER go back! read more

This place is wonderful and the owner bends over backwards to accomodate you. Her work is beautiful and the prices are fair and competitive with other places. I bring all my alterations here. Remember with bad reviews, there always seems to be a hidden agenda. This place deserves 5 stars! read more

I brought my dress in to this shop to be altered for my daughters destination wedding. I went to pick it up. It was one week before the wedding. It had pin holes all over it thread marks you can see the threading. The chest lining in the chest area on the left side is messed up. I immediately took it to another place. They told me they would try to fix it. However I should start looking for another dress. I was very upset asked for my money back she personally insulted me. Went on to involve another customer into my situation. I would never go or recommend anyone to bring anything here EVER!!!!! Also she denied that she altered the dress in these areas said it was manufactured like that. When I took it to another alterations place. They showed me exactly where it had been altered. BEWARE! read more
